    Examining what is God’s purpose for the Jewish nation

    What about the Jews? (Rom 11) When re read the bible, we often see it as two sections. After all, we have divided it up as such – Old Testament and New Testament. The Old Testament is all about the Jews and the New Testament about Christ and another group of people called the Gentiles. We ...read more

     | 2,666 views

    There were those who were deserting the gospel of Grace to the false teaching of salvation by works.

    The law and the Lord. Galatians 3:15 -- 25. 11/14/04 The theme of the book of Galatians is that when you are born-again, you are set free. This is the theme you need to remember when you read the book of Galatians. The message Paul preached when he got into the city is that a person is saved ...read more

    Flesh

    . Paul has already made it clear that there must be an inward change of heart and obedience to the law, and that mere external observances can never save a lost sinner. Now Paul proceeds to show how Abraham was pronounced righteous before he was circumc

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: The flesh is a built-in law of failure, making it impossible for the natural man to please or serve God. It is a compulsive inner force inherited from man’s fall, which expresses itself in general and specific rebellion against God and His righteousness. The flesh can ...read more

    In this passage Paul lists three great blessing of our justification: Peace with God, Access to God, and Glorious Hope of being with God.

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: Recently I read the biography of Norman Grubb, a missionary in Africa, and the leader of his mission for 30 years. I was struck by what he wrote: "At conversion we learned that we had not done what we should, but then we soon learn that of ourselves we cannot do what we ...read more

    Good Works - When We Don't Need God Anymore Series

    Ironic isn’t it? We can do so well in our Christian walk, we depend upon our Christian competencies rather than the Holy Spirit.

    Was Jesus kidding? “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” Come on, what does that mean? Certainly Jesus is speaking in metaphors, certainly Jesus is exaggerating, certainly Jesus means something else….. In the city of Jerusalem ...read more

    If the Law was not the means to salvation, then what is it’s purpose?

    Galatians 3:23-29 “The Purpose of the Law” Vs. 23 • “Before faith came.” o Definite article in the Greek before “faith”  the faith. o Before faith means before the fulfillment of the faith, that is the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. • “shut up” o Means imprisoned, they were still ...read more

    In this sermon we observe David’s testimony of how God justifies and blesses sinners.

    Scripture In our series in Paul’s letter to the Romans we are learning about the good news of God. The apostle Paul is teaching us how unrighteous sinners come into a right relationship with a holy God. We are sinners by nature. We are rebels against God. We want to rule our own lives, and we ...read more

    No matter how badly we blow it, or how unlovable we feel, God’s grace is more than enough to change us & make us new.

    The Simplicity of God’s Grace Acts 15:1-21 Intro: Life can seem pretty complicated. Relationships, problems, bills, debts, kids, parents, siblings, politics, taxes… these can all tangle together into a big blurry mass of confusion and complexity.

    In this sermon we see that Abraham was not justified by circumcision or by the law; rather, he was justified by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.

    Scripture Let’s read Romans 4:9-17: 9 Is this blessing then only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised? We say that faith was counted to Abraham as righteousness. 10 How then was it counted to him? Was it before or after he had been circumcised? It was not after, but before he was ...read more
